I'm not being realistic here, I know it won't happen, but ....

Neil Craig.

Failing that ....

Guus Hiddink.

I'm not joking by saying Guus either. Surround him with a good core of assistants to explain the game to him, and teach the players skills. Leave the communication and tactics up to Guus. He is a fantastic communicator who adjusts his communication style to suit each player, and gives clear instructions to the players on what to do, and what's expected of them. He is also a master tactician who sees the game evolving in his mind.

Craig and Guus are very similar in some respects.

Right.

guus coaches soccer, he does it very well. football (afl) is not soccer.

Carlton 2012: Lets remind them why they once feared the Dark.

What we're playing at the moment is not either of them.

Time to investigate the Joyce Brown option again.

i disagree hammer. we are playing football, just not very well. i am of the opinion we could be a good team IF we are prepared to believe that. ive said it time and time again: back the young guys, have faith theyll rise to the occasion, dont drag them, play them in their positions, play attacking football. borrow from soccer, run at defences, have our forwards start out of the square, running to meet the ball. make the other team think, make them have to change things up to combat our moves. dont be so reactive to the slightest thing. id love to see us come out on sunday and ATTACK, ATTACK, ATTACK. put the bombers under intense pressure. play with a standard 4-5 man backline and 4-5 man forward line, id be willing to bet on us to win if we played like that. walker and simpson on the wings, make sheedy sacrifice HIS gameplan.

rant over.

If you think we are a good team, you must be looking at something different on the weekends.

"Don't drag them" - some need to be dragged and told their performance is unacceptable - Scotland for leaving his man unattended, Lappin for putting in piss weak tackles on the boundary line, Carazzo for shooting from 55 rather than looking for a better option and also looking on in the 4th qtr as the ball bounced over the goal-line, Waite for taking a mark and then trying to run around the man on the mark, French for being outmarked by Licuria without applying a hit, Simpson for stopping the ball on the goal-line rather than punching it through, Kouta for allowing Dane Swan to dance around in the forward pocket and kick an easy goal ... and all these examples of players not doing the basics are just from last sunday, and all cost easy goals!!!

Just like I would expect Mitchell to tell players like Bower to be accountable in the Bullants regardless if he 'hurts their feelings'. Some of these players need to grow up and realise if they don't perform they'll be warming the bench, playing bullants or cut completely.

Pagan needs to get tougher and punish the lazy errors which are killing us every week.

Agree...Hudson and McGaune are part of the new age of coaching prospects who are more tactically in tune with todays modern game and have the right approach with younger players..i think its a transition phase in coaching and blokes like Pagan, Matthews, Malthouse(regardless of the pies form) and Sheedy are on the way out....

Yes!!!

"Walker, is that? YES IT IS! Walker pulls out a triple deek and moves past the defender and slots it through! BLUES WIN! BLUES WIN!"

Tend to agree knackers. I reckon this bloke has a lot to offer

Brereton is busy " doing" every blonde he can get his hands on and making Warnie look celibate..I think Nicky Whelan is the latest victim of the man with the surgical enhancement .....he is a knob in every aspect and I wouldnt want him anywhere near my footy club....his commentary is enough to have me wanting to do an Elvis to the TV....

For starters Smorgan can surely change the dynamics of the match committee by giving Elshaugh the arse pronto. I hate Libba but I do admire the way he's seemingly mentoring Eddie Betts. Leave Mitchell with the ants as he's doing a great job with the kids.
In the immediate short term Smorgan has to make a significant change to freshen the place up. Bringing in TD & GD was good but not enough. Bring in a good modern assistant and if DP arcs up send him packing as well.
BTW, surely the board wasn't stupid enough to contractually let DP have only the assistants he wants? .....surely not?

Ford Fairlane: You got to admit those are pretty good reasons...

Aside from being a 'knob' (tend to agree), I'm yet to hear a reason why he could not add value in a coaching capacity.

Former Australian netball coach Joyce Brown is the obvious pick.

She had a brilliant career at the highest level of competitive netball, and has a strong Carlton link through her son Fraser Brown. She also assisted David Parkin in the late 90's.

As a coach of a junior girls netball team, I can tell you that if you can succeed in netball you can succeed in anything.
